Christmas scratch cards
Christmas digital scratch cards
Hide a festive surprise under a scratch-off layer and send the link by WhatsApp, SMS or Telegram.
Scratch to see the surprise
Try the Christmas demo below. Recipients open your link in a browser and scratch with a finger or mouse. When you are ready, jump into the creator with this template already selected.
Christmas mornings, secret Santas and last-minute “look under the tree” moments are perfect for a digital scratch card. Instead of a flat text message, your recipient scratches to reveal dinner plans, a gift hint, a travel surprise or a simple merry Christmas note. With scratch.mobi you choose a festive template, write the hidden message, preview the reveal, then generate a shareable link or QR code — no app for you or for them.
Example Christmas messages
- “Merry Christmas! Your gift is hiding under the tree — look for the silver box.”
- “Christmas Eve surprise: open this when you get home tonight.”
- “Ho ho ho — dinner is on me this year. Scratch for the restaurant.”
- “Family Christmas quiz night starts at 7. Bring your worst jumper.”
- “Your present is a weekend away. Check your email for the booking.”

Tips for a card that feels personal
- Keep the reveal short — one clear surprise beats a long paragraph under the foil.
- Name the moment: Christmas morning, Christmas Eve, or Boxing Day brunch.
- If the gift is physical, tell them where to look without spoiling what it is.
- Free cards last 24 hours; Premium cards last 30 days with no ads for your recipient — see Pricing if you need longer.
